Set in 1977, back when sex was safe, pleasure was a business and business was booming, idealistic porn producer Jack Horner aspires to elevate his craft to an art form. Horner discovers Eddie Adams, a hot young talent working as a busboy in a nightclub, and welcomes him into the extended family of movie-makers, misfits and hangers-on that are always around. Adams' rise from nobody to a celebrity adult entertainer is meteoric, and soon the whole world seems to know his porn alter ego, "Dirk Diggler". Now, when disco and drugs are in vogue, fashion is in flux and the party never seems to stop, Adams' dreams of turning sex into stardom are about to collide with cold, hard reality.

"I don't much like Mark Wahlberg but Philip Seymour Hoffman is great in this. Burt Reynolds is in good form as the pornographer. It's not my favorite movie and I won't recommend it here. "

"Ugh"

"I’m not sure why people like this movie?? Maybe it just not for me but I don’t get the love..I thought it was a miserable watch it made me feel grimy and sad which I’m not saying a movie can’t do but..I don’t know there was just something hateful about the way this movie went around it that I just wasn’t into. I also don’t think Mark Wahlberg is a good actor and I can’t take anything seriously when I see him in anything. "

"Surprisingly enough, I had never seen this movie until today. A friend of mine sort of shamed me into watching it, and I'm glad she did. It was everything you want a Paul Thomas Anderson to be, and then some. #boogie_nights #paul_thomas_anderson"
